Regular attendance is the key to engagement with learning, and there are very strong correlations between regular attendance at school and academic achievement. Please support your child by ensuring they are attending school regularly throughout the year.
All student absences should be accounted for and can be explained by parents and caregivers through the School App, by emailing attendance@kerikerihigh.ac.nz or by a note from the parent or caregiver to the Form Teacher when the student returns to school.
If the student is likely to be absent longer than three days, we encourage parents to ring Reception or Te Puna Waiora. A doctor's certificate should be obtained for absences of more than five days.
Students must sign out at Te Puna Waiora if they leave during the school day for an appointment. They must have a note or an appointment card. Similarly, they must sign in, with a note, if they arrive after 9.00am.
